"We contracted Southside Builders to finish our basement, and we could not have been more pleased with our experience. Neal is very professional, responds quickly, and delivers quality work. He let us know everyday when to expect him and always showed up on time. We were told at the start of our project that our basement would take 4-6 weeks to complete and it was completed within that time frame (which never happens!). We will definitely use Southside Builders for our future projects and highly recommend them to our friends and neighbors."

We are independent contractors capable of handling almost any of your home needs from framing and drywall to demo, flooring and roofing and much more. We look forward to creating a long lasting relationship for all of your home improvement needs.

"Everything seemed to be going well, until it didn't. Painting wasn't finished and globs of paint were left on walls and there were a bunch of drippings on the baseboard. The wood flooring, tiles, walls, and some doors were damaged and not fixed. When asked to come back and fix the problem, Jay proceeded to flip a switch and bully/verbally attack the disabled individuals of the home, making comments about themselves and their dogs. He made comments regarding what the animals are being fed and their lack of exercise, even though the one has an autoimmune disease, the other is 16 with one eye, and the third is mentally disabled. He then proceeded to block the client on messages and social media platforms."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

It's generally recommended to hang drywall on the ceiling first before moving on to the walls. This sequence allows the ceiling sheets to provide support for the vertical wall sheets. By attaching the ceiling drywall initially, you establish a solid framework to align and attach the wall panels accurately. This method ensures a seamless and sturdy connection between the ceiling and walls, resulting in a more professional finish.

You should always work from top to bottom when hanging drywall. There are a few reasons for this. For one, starting at the top makes it easier to create a straight wall between the ceiling and the wall. Plus, moving downward lets you avoid any awkward gaps at the top. It’s easier to deal with gaps at the bottom because you can cut the drywall to fit the space or cover the gap with baseboard trim.

A nail in drywall cannot hold very much—usually only a few pounds. A nail in a stud can add support and hold around 20 pounds. If you are trying to hang something heavier, get some help from drywall anchors—toggle bolts are very strong and able to withstand more weight.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

When you are learning how to tape and mud drywall, waiting for things to dry requires a lot of patience. So how long does drywall mud take to dry? On average, it takes about 24 hours. However, it depends on things like the thickness of the mud, as well as the room’s temperature, humidity, and ventilation. Using thin layers of mud in a warm, low-humidity room with good airflow reduces average drying time. You also could speed up drying time by making use of hot drywall mud, which consists of a powder that you mix with water, instead of using pre-mixed mud.
